Hi folks, We just got home, it's a little past midnight, we just flipped the switch on the aquascaping contest site (http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org), and are about to crash after this incredible weekend. It was wonderful to meet so many people in person that I've conversed with electronically, re-gather with others who I haven't seen in a while, hear a first-rate set of speakers...stay up till all hours of the morning with people pouring over the ID of Ludwigia/Alternanthera mystery plants... I would like to gather some impressions from the attendees for use on the website and TAG. So if you were one of the attendees, and you've got a few minutes, e-mail me back a couple paragraphs about what stood out in your mind this weekend... doesn't have to be long, even a paragraph is fine. Second request: If you have pictures, can I borrow your negatives once you've got your prints? I promise I will scan them and send them right back to you. I shot no still pictures at all this weekend, and would love to have some for the website & TAG. Just e-mail me if that would be OK. Third request: I think I got in contact with most of the people shooting video during Mr. Amano's workshop, but if I didn't talk with you and you'd be willing to lend me your footage long enough to make a copy, I'd surely appreciate it. My goal is to merge all the camcorder footages together into one edited multi-camera show. And yes, I'll send a copy to anyone who sends footage. Oh, and Charlene would like me to mention that any attendees who would like the list of attendees should e-mail me as well. Also, I know there's lots of people not on this e-mail list, so if you've got friends who were at the convention, let em know too. OK, that's it. I'm going to bed... - Erik -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please send mail to majordomo@thekrib.com with "Unsubscribe aga-member" in the body of the message.
